JACS Makes Scientific Impact in 2022 with Well-Cited Articles

As the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) continues to foster new academic and scientific works that investigate the key issues in surgery, 2022 proved to be one of the journal’s most successful years to date. 

In June, JACS achieved its highest-ever impact factor—an important metric indicating a journal’s influence that measures the frequency with which the average article has been cited in a particular year—by featuring noteworthy research on a range of topics. Access to JACS is free as a benefit of ACS membership. The most-cited articles from 2022 are:

• Impact of Incorporating Whole Blood into Hemorrhagic Shock Resuscitation: Analysis of 1,377 Consecutive Trauma Patients Receiving Emergency-Release Uncrossmatched Blood Products
• Efficacy of Near-Infrared Fluorescence-Guided Hepatectomy for the Detection of Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Randomized Controlled Trial
• Nationwide Survey of Trauma Center Screening and Intervention Practices for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Firearm Violence, Mental Health, and Substance Use Disorders
• Emergency General Surgery Quality Improvement: A Review of Recommended Structure and Key Issues
• Role of Fibrinogen in Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy

Future ACS Briefs will look at top-achieving articles for JACS in other categories.
